Went to my first rock concert last week. It was Vampire Weekend, Abe Vigoda opened for them and were too loud for me and quite frankly sucked live, so I saw no reason to damage my hearing over nothing. Basically went out to the smoking deck with a friend until VW was ready to come on stage which I find pretty ironic, apparently secondhand smoke is much lower on my list of health risks than insane noise pollution. Even Vampire Weekend had my hearing muffled for a good 10 minutes after the show, but at least they were awesome.
I think most people don't even think about their hearing. I only saw one guy with earplugs in, but I really wasn't looking for them.
What do you guys think about earplugs and concerts? Opinions, discussion, suggestions are welcome. Thinking about getting some ER20's even if they make me look like a dork. Will 20db reduction be enough to prevent hearing damage?
